A Surprisingly Unsung Bard

I find this amusing, especially given our blatant lack of knowledge about the person generally known as William Shakespeare. Despite what the residents of Stratford-Upon-Avon would have you believe, we really don't know much about the playwright who crafted the body of work that is attributed to Shakespeare. So, I'm not sure anyone is in any sort of position to proclaim what Shakespeare would and would not approve of. That's like saying Homer would be totally down with violent, gory movies, simply because the Iliad features loads of descriptive violence, or that Robin Hood would support redistribution of wealth in modern society.
